Why is it a Word doc? Just use the .jpg file.

How do I add a desktop background picture?
You need to convert it to a picture format - jpeg being a good choice. If
you don't have any PDF converter, display the picture in Acrobat (or other PDF reader) and display it in FullScreenView. (Make sure the cursor is of screen), then use Alt+PrtScn. That action will copy the screen to the Windows clipboard. Now open a graphics editor (if you don't have one,. download the free IrfanView) and paste the clipboard into the editor. Crop the picture if needed and then save it as a jpeg. Now you can use it. When you say you want it as a background picture, do you mean in Word or as your desktop background (wallpaper). If it is the latter, then when the picture is open in IrfanView, choose Options, Set as Wallpaper and choose the option to Tile, Stretch or Centre the picture on screen. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "IwishIknewitall" wrote in message ...

Most PDF programs allow you to save the PDF document as a jpg file type.

You can extract the image from Word (see
http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm), but it would be much more useful to rescan the photo and save as a JPEG instead of scanning to PDF. -- Suzanne S.
